Sunday in a "Raleigh Parks" lake:
5:15pm-8:00pm (best fishing 6:00-7:00pm)
10 crappie 10-12"
custom minnow rig
bobber/minnow
#6 Vanish Transition Line
4-10' deep
The fishing seemed a bit better today; and my first attempt at spider rigging (albeit only with two poles) paid dividends. I have installed two "Bee Ready" 4 pole-adjustable platforms. I am quite impressed by the amount of water covered. Like last Thursday, the homemade minnow rig outfished anything else I put in the water. I'm still streamlining it though--primarily making internodal adjustments to reduce its tendency to tangle, optimizing the packing and unpaking element, and experimenting with breakpoints to control the portion lost to snags. I guess most importantly, however, is that I keep it simple!
On another note, I towed in a disabled boat for the secong straight outing. What are the odds?
